Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFHIDIHEFEF JHJHKLHLMNMHOFEF| SHE stood in the curtains played over by light | A |
| The tinted curtains a tired sweet girl | B |
| With exquisite arms under laces of white | A |
| Like an ivory figure in mother of pearl | B |
| I entered she saw me but made no move | C |
| To some I nodded to some replied | D |
| A violin somewhere was singing of love | E |
| She blushed and paled and I stood at her side | D |
| I asked for a dance she shook her head | F |
| And laughed like a petted petulant queen | G |
| She had promised them all to others she said | F |
| 'And you are so late and where have you been ' | H |
| They were talking low in the long bright room | I |
| And I answered her moving the blind aside | D |
| 'Out there on the lawn in the velvet gloom | I |
| Wooing a woman to make her my bride ' | H |
| She suddenly shook like a startled dove | E |
| Ruffled and paled and hung her head | F |
| A violin somewhere was singing of love | E |
| And bitter sweet were the things it said | F |
| 'This heat is stifling ' she moved away | J |
| 'Out here ' I whispered 'and hark to the tide ' | H |
| 'The woman where is she ' I heard her say | J |
| 'Now show me the woman you wooed for a bride ' | H |
| 'Here on the land and there on the sea | K |
| Her feet among roses her head in the skies | L |
| And now do you see her ' She whispered 'I see ' | H |
| Her hand on my shoulder a laugh in her eyes | L |
| 'Do you love her this lady so mystical fine | M |
| I dwindle before her a plain little miss | N |
| She has stars in her hair only roses in mine | M |
| But the Night has no heart and the Night cannot kiss ' | H |
| 'Not now if you please sir ' a moment she strove | O |
| The curve of my arm softly circled her head | F |
| A violin somewhere was singing of love | E |
| And sweet beyond all were the things it said | F |
